    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I was moving the National Flag, Emblems and Names (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No.8 of 2017), it interested me to know why it is prohibited to fly the Kenyan flag in private homes. I read the Bill that made it law prohibiting the flying of flags in private home as was moved on 28th November, 1963 before Independence. I learnt that the late Tom Mboya who was the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs, based his argument on the fact that the kaburus and colonialists were putting the Kenyan flag in toilets. The reason for the prohibition of flying flags in homes does not make sense right now. We should have such HANSARD reports at our disposal."
